3D Sensing Tablet in 2015

A Spanish start-up E-Capture R&D is developing a tablet with 3D sensing capabilities that’s aimed at the enterprise space — surveyors, civil engineers, architects and the like — is due to go on sale at the beginning of 2015. Seems like quite a long lead time, but we’ll see what happens.

The tablet, called EyesMap, will have two rear 13 megapixel cameras, along with a depth sensor and GPS to enable it to measure co-ordinates, surface and volumes of objects up to a distance of 70 to 80 meters in real-time. That would certainly get a lot of professionals’ attention.
